TEHRAN, IRAN — Iran showcased its growing arsenal of weapons over the weekend, just weeks after deadly anti-government protests rocked the nation.<br /><br />The Washington Free Beacon reports that during rallies commemorating the 39th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Iranian leaders unveiled two new homemade missiles: the Ghadr and the Fajr-5.<br /><br />The Ghadr is a nuclear-capable, medium-range ballistic missile, which experts say bears striking similarities to North Korean technology.<br /><br />It can be launched from mobile platforms, and is equipped with a radar-evading system. It's also capable of striking Israel when fired from within Iran.<br /><br />The Fajr-5, meanwhile, is a long-range artillery rocket fuelled by solid propulsion, that is being used by Iran-backed anti-Israel groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.<br /><br />The Islamic nation currently holds the region's largest arsenal of ballistic missiles, and continues to develop them despite international criticism, most notably from U.S. President Donald Trump.
